Back to Building

The weather finally started to warm up over the weekend, so yesterday we finally got back to working on the new house. Hal actually got to work the day before by moving more sand into the garage with his dad's tractor. The added height certainly made getting to the ceiling joists easier.

I cut 5 to length but before Hal could put them up, he had to strap and winch the 2 trusses back together, they had spread apart about an inch during the winter. That'll teach us to leave joists up without screwing them in. Our only excuse was it was just too dang cold to screw them in. Yes, we're wimps.

However, the 5 did go up and tomorrow we'll do more. (Today I have to take Ziggy for his shots.) Hal will be moving dirt around the outside of the house today.

It's slow, but at least we're moving again.
